I’m just gunna have a little rant about racism okay.
I understand that a lot of people of all different kinds of ethnic origins are angry at the way white people treated their ancestors / are still treating them.
As a white person, I will never be able to fully understand how awful it must be to be subjected to racism.
However, that does not give anyone the right to turn the racism on white people. It does not give you the right to spout complete shit, generalising white people and making us all out to be heartless cunts. Fuck you.
I am a white, English teenager. I believe with every fibre of my being that every person on earth is completely equal, regardless of gender, sexuality, race, religion, etc.
It is just as unfair for you to judge me by the colour of my skin as it would me to judge you by yours. I am not a facist. I am not a asshole. I am not to be held accountable for the horrendous things my ancestors did to yours.
This racism is just as damaging as any other kind, and I’m fucking sick of it. It might not be as blatant as black kids getting stabbed in London, and Muslim women having their veils ripped off in Leicester, but it still hurts. I spend every single day fighting back against the racist bullshit my white peers come up with; trying to get them to stop saying using slurs like ‘paki’ and educate them about immigration.
White people aren’t all bad. In fact, most of us are quite nice and want equality just as much as you.
Oh and also, if you’re anti-racism but not anti-homophobia then you’re a bigoted cunt. How can you be against one kind of inequality but not another?
I briefly considering telling you exactly how and why you’re wrong. But then I realized your head is so far up your privileged behind that you wouldn’t get it even if I did, so instead I give you this gif:
That awkward moment when white people actually believe that prejudice against them (which results in, um, POC not trusting whites I guess) is just as harmful as racism against POC (which result in genocide, imperialism, murder, etc.).
